The ShaBLAMM NiTro VLB was a computer system that used a Quantum Effect Devices QED R4600 microprocessor implemented on a VESA Local Bus peripheral card and designed to function when connected to a host computer system using an Intel i486 . The NiTro VLB conformed to the Advanced RISC Computing ARC standard, and was produced and marketed by ShaBLAMM Computer as an upgrade card for accelerating Windows NT . Characteristics The NiTro VLB is notable for various unique characteristics among personal computer accessories. For example, although the system was marketed as an upgrade for computers already using a 486 processor, the NiTro VLB was in fact of an entirely different architecture specifically, the MIPS architecture from the IA32 based 486. Further, as a parasitic or symbiotic coprocessor , the NiTro VLB was designed to co opt the host 486 processor from running, and used four megabytes of the host 486 motherboard s system memory as a direct memory access DMA buffer although the NiTro VLB required its own separate DRAM main memory , in addition to any memory installed on the host 486 motherboard . This type of parasite host upgrade card configuration, in which an entire motherboard and processor are implemented on an expansion card designed to connect to a host motherboard s expansion slot. However, such configurations are rare among computer systems designed to run Microsoft Windows . Specifications and benchmarks The NiTro VLB s QED R4600 processor, running at 100 MHz, was rated at 73.8 SPECint92 and 63 SPECfp92 which are similar figures to the first generation Intel P5 microarchitecture Pentium running at 66 MHz . Faster and costlier versions were designed to run at 133 MHz or 150 MHz. Sales Initially, the NiTro VLB system was priced at 1,095 for a 100 MHz card with no main memory, 1,995 for a 100 MHz card with 16 MB of main memory and a copy of Windows NT, and 2,595 ... art 9407 sec4 art9.htm A BYTE magazine article detailing the ShaBlamm Nitro VLB Category Computer ... more details

DeskStation Technology was a manufacturer of RISC based computer workstations intended to run Windows NT . DeskStation was based in Lenexa, Kansas Lenexa , Kansas . MIPS based systems Initially, DeskStation designed and produced MIPS architecture MIPS based workstations, such as the DeskStation Tyne v4633x and DeskStation rPC44 Evolution E4400 RISC PC and Evolution R4400 RISC PC , which conformed to the Advanced RISC Computing ARC computer specification and implemented the associated firmware . Rather than adopt the Jazz computer Jazz reference design for its MIPS systems, DeskStation developed its own internal bus and chipset systems which offered greater performance compared to the more common Jazz machines. The resulting DeskStation machines began production in 1994, and had an initial price range from 2,990 for a basic system to 6,000 or more for machines with secondary cache and large memory configurations. Alpha based systems Later, when Windows NT was ported to the DEC Alpha Alpha architecture, DeskStation created a flexible computer platform that allowed either MIPS or Alpha architectures to be swapped either during production or by the end user. These machines, part of the DeskStation Raptor series, were called the Raptor Reflex line. In 1998, DeskStation licensed its motherboard designs and chipsets from to Samsung, a DEC Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha licensee.

Unreferenced date May 2007 Image 80486dx2 large.jpg thumb i486DX2 CPU core The Intel 80486DX2 later rebadged i486DX2 is a central processing unit CPU produced by Intel that was introduced in 1992. The i486DX2 was nearly identical to the Intel 80486DX i486DX but for the addition of clock multiplier circuitry. It was the first integrated circuit chip to use clock doubling, whereby the processor runs two internal logic clock cycle s per external bus cycle. A i486 DX2 was thus significantly faster than an i486 DX at the same bus speed thanks to the 8K on chip cache shadowing the slower clocked external bus. For many players of video game s during the early and mid 1990s, towards the end of the MS DOS gaming era, the i486DX2 66 was a very popular processor. Often coupled with 8 16 megabyte MB RAM and a VESA Local Bus VLB video card, the CPU was capable of playing every title available for several years after its release, making it a sweet spot in CPU performance and longevity. The introduction of 3D graphics spelled the end of the 486 s reign, because of its heavy use of floating point calculations and the need for faster CPU cache cache and more memory bandwidth . Developers began to target the P5 microarchitecture P5 Pentium brand Pentium processor family almost exclusively with x86 assembly language optimizations which led to the usage of terms such as Pentium compatible processor for software requirements. An i486DX2 50 version was also available, but as the bus speed was 25 MHz rather than 33 MHz this was a significantly less popular processor. There are two major versions of the DX2. Identified by P24 and P24D, the latter has a faster Cache L1 cache mode called CPU cache write back that improves performance. The original P24 version only offers the slower write through cache mode. Am486 AMD and Cyrix both produced a competitor for the Intel i486DX2. gallery Image Intel 80486DX2 top.jpg An Intel i486DX2 66 Microprocessor, top view. Image Intel 80486DX2 bot ... more details
File S3 Trio64Vplus 86C765.jpg thumb S3 Trio64V The S3 Graphics S3 Trio range were popular graphics chipsets for personal computers and were S3 s first fully integrated graphics accelerators. As the name implies, three previously separate components were now included in the same Application specific integrated circuit ASIC the graphics core, RAMDAC and clock generator . The increased integration allowed a graphics card to be simpler than before and thus cheaper to produce. Variants The Trio64 and 64V are essentially fully integrated solutions based upon the earlier Vision 864 and 868 accelerator chipsets. Like the 868, the 64V has a video acceleration engine that can perform YUV to RGB color space conversion and horizontal linear filter ed Image scaling scaling . Unlike the Vision964 968, the Trio chips do not support Dynamic random access memory VRAM , and are limited to Dynamic random access memory FPM DRAM and Dynamic random access memory EDO DRAM only. The 2D graphics hardware was later used in the S3 ViRGE ViRGE . The Trio32 is a low cost version of the Trio64 with a narrower 32 bit DRAM interface vs. 64 bit . The Trio64V2 improved on the 64V by including vertical bilinear filtering . The 2D graphics core was later used in the ViRGE DX and ViRGE GX. Like the corresponding ViRGE chips, the 64V2 also came in DX and GX variants, with the latter supporting more modern Synchronous dynamic random access memory SDRAM or Dynamic random access memory SGRAM . The final version, called the Trio3D, was effectively the 128 bit successor to the ViRGE GX2. The various Trio chips were used on many motherboards. Because of the popularity of the series and the resulting compatibility advantages, they are used in various PC emulation and virtualization packages such as DOSBox and Microsoft Virtual PC .
